3232How to teach my dog to bring back a frisbee?http://collingwoodcinemas.com/how-to-teach-my-dog-to-bring-back-a-frisbee/
Wed, 20 Sep 2017 23:31:20 +0000http://collingwoodcinemas.com/?p=35Every time you learn something new about your dog, it is an opportunity to spend time with him, to play with him. It will take more or less time for him to understand what you expect of him, so be patient but firm.

Throwing a ball or a stick for the dog to bring is one of the most popular games. Here we should ask can dogs learn how to fetch a frisbee?

The answer is YES. You could teach him the instructions in three steps

CHOOSE THE OBJECT TO REPORT

At first, you must choose the object to report. If you throw a bone, your dog will certainly not want to come back to you. Take an object that pleases your dog, an object that he knows and with which he likes to have fun.

A ball, a frisbee or a simple stick may be appropriate. Do not take anything too big or too heavy that your dog will have trouble carrying in his mouth.

REPORTS OR GOES

Once the object is selected, you must associate the report with an order. It can be “report” or “go”.
Most often, when you throw the ball or toy, your pet will run after to get it. Perhaps he will come back by himself bringing back his toy.

In this case, praise him by the voice, by caresses or a treat and repeat this operation
If your dog does not return to you with the object, go to him and make his return to your starting point with the object in his mouth.

You can give him a sweet only if he returns the object. After a few tries, he will understand what you expect of him and should get caught up in the game.

LEARNING TO GIVE

Your dog brings you the ball but does not want to let it go; he has to learn how to give it.

Stretch your hand to his mouth and say “give” in a firm tone. If he keeps the toy, take it gently from his mouth. Once you have it in your hand, praise him.

PATIENCE AND FIRMNESS

Repetition, patience, and firmness are the basis of learning.
Some dogs quickly take to the game and only think of bringing you the object in order to throw it to him. Others do not get excited about this type of games.

There are dog breeds or types of dogs that do this instinctively while others have to learn the relationship.
The important thing is that you spend good times with your dog, that he knows the orders “reports” and “gives”.

Do not force it, be patient and do not hesitate to repeat it as many times as necessary.

Do rather short but frequent sessions than a very long one that is likely to tire your dog.

Fri, 25 Aug 2017 19:24:00 +0000http://collingwoodcinemas.com/?p=29The question many people have concerning wolves are….. can you keep a wolf as a pet? By nature, wolves are hunters who hunt in groups called packs. making it impossible to provide captive wolves with an acceptable re-creation of the wild.

Keeping a wolf as a pet is illegal and considered animal cruelty more so, They are not safe to have around kids and the elderly they do not possess the loyalty instincts of dogs.

You may have seen romanticized stories about wolves as pets but the hard truth is that wolves are designed to be the wild animal and seldom make good pets because they do not really share behavioral similarities with dogs. Unlike dogs which can be trained and domesticated, wolves always retain their wild instincts and are not obedient and loyal like dogs.

They mostly do what they want when they want irrespective of their owner commands. Naturally, wolves avoid all human contact, therefore, it takes a lot of time and consistent communication to make a wolf comfortable around you. This feat may be achieved if a wolf is adopted and fostered soon after birth.

Because wolf diet consists mostly of meat, they are very expensive to keep in captivity. If kept at home, cheap meals and supplements would make them sick and lethargic. Wolves are highly destructive and yearn to go back into the wild where they naturally belong and since they hate being kept in captivity.

They can jump, climb, or dig out just about any enclosure they consistently try to escape. They are not safe to have around kids and the elderly they do not possess the loyalty instincts of dogs.

Although wolves are cute and mystical animals, having one as a pet is risky and time-consuming especially when it comes to domesticating them.

He is absent on business and leaves Donna to bring the car in for repairs. Donna goes there with her son and the car breaks down in the middle of the hotel courtyard when Cujo appears. The dog attacks the car and terrorizes its occupants.

It is important if a dog shows any sign of aggression to lock it up before it hurts anyone. Since Cujo is such a big dog he would need an enclosure like the Diamond Deluxe aluminum dog box.
